Blue Star Fefn

Description

Blue Star Fern (Phlebodium aureum)

Unusual texture. Striking color. Low-maintenance charm.

The Blue Star Fern is a standout with its wavy, blue-green fronds and soft, leathery texture. Native to tropical rainforests, it thrives in humid, filtered-light conditions and brings a modern, sculptural feel to indoor spaces or shaded gardens.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or light shade. Tolerates lower light better than many ferns.
• Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering.
• Soil: Grows best in well-draining, loose potting mix rich in organic matter (e.g., orchid bark + peat + perlite blend).
• Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or grouped with other plants.
• Temperature: Thrives in 16°C to 25°C. Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C.
• Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer.

Perfect for: Indoor displays, shaded patios, and hanging baskets. Its striking color and tolerance for low light make it a favorite among houseplant lovers and designers alike.
